As far as I know XULRunner apps are still supported in Debian/Ubuntu. Embedding XULRunner is not. I think my previous email about it came across very brisk. I apologise for that. I wanted to point out that xulrunner embedding engine has been aggressively dropped from Ubuntu/Debian archives (oneiric and up) Such that as a user it is not easy to run the app; as a developer not easy to package as a deb. It is dropped from Ubuntu/Debian due to: * mozilla dropping xulrunner embedding * decreasing release cycle to 3-4 months * decreasing support timeframe to 6-8 months In long term it will be harder and harder to get xulrunner embedding up and running. -- With regards, Dmitrijs Ledkovs _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: [email protected] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
